Finding Brynn – Sky Greene

The Blurb
Most of Brynn’s friends and family tell her she is crazy to leave everything and everyone behind to move 1200 miles from home just to try something new. She feels like she is being adventurous and wants a change from her boring Midwestern life. The only thing she wishes she could bring with her to Denver is Ned, her boy-toy turned serious boyfriend that her parents know nothing about.

Once in Denver, Brynn finds being ‘adventurous’ isn’t as fun or easy as she expected. She’s suddenly on the bad side of one of her grad school professors, she’s just about out of money, and when she thinks things can’t get worse, Mother Nature wreaks havoc on her car. At least she has Kim, her new best friend that she met at school, to talk to about almost anything.

Brynn didn’t anticipate meeting any guy that intrigues her, but Dave sure peaks her interest. She wants to explore if she is imagining a spark, or if there really is something there. But Ned…the sex with him is too good to just throw away, and they’re making the long distance thing work…sort of. Ned? Dave? Is any of this really what she wants?

What Brynn thinks is essential in life changes drastically when she gets the call that causes her to get on the first plane home. Only then does Brynn realize what is truly important to her and what she wants in life.

Rating: 3/5

The Review
Thank you to Sky for sending me a copy to read and review.

When you’re a teenager, or even in your early twenties, you’re on a road of self discovery and you learn many life lessons along the way. Brynn is back to University and is learning to balance a lot of her own personal things and she too is on a road full of ups and downs that test her patience.

Brynn has a part of her in us all, we’ve all been there and bought the t-shirt. When you’re young you don’t have a clear idea about what you want from life and sometimes you just go with the flow and just try and enjoy life. When Brynn goes back to college, adult life hits her square in the face. Why is living away from home so expensive? During the first few chapters I found Brynn to be very irritating, she was a little bit of a moaner. However, the more she developed, the easier it was for me to relate to her. I too have been in a long distance relationship and it’s hard to emotionally and physically deal with the unnatural circumstances. You always long for them to be there and want them to stay longer when they’re with you.

For me, the novel is entirely about learning to become an adult and to always have fun. Brynn struggles but learns to cope better. I’d recommend anyone thinking of going to college or just unsure about life to read Finding Brynn. It’s all about learning to love yourself and to find the right path in life for you and you’ll be happy.
